It's not that there was much question who the top two teams in the ACC were before Week 11, but now it's official. Miami and Clemson will face off Dec. 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the conference championship, and it's not entirely unthinkable that both could squeeze into the College Football Playoff.

OK, Miami Twitter. You can stop complaining now. A second consecutive dominant victory over a ranked foe earns the Canes the top spot. More important, however, Virginia's loss Saturday earned Miami its first trip to the ACC championship game, where the debate can be settled on the field.

Kelly Bryant's team is 9-1 and poised for a third straight playoff berth, but if Clemson wants to finish the job, it needs to find some answers in the passing game, which has struggled to find much success in the past month.

It wasn't pretty -- especially when it came to the kicking game -- but NC State earned a needed victory at Boston College after two painful losses to top-four teams. The Wolfpack won't win the Atlantic, but Saturday did prove something about NC State's resilience.

Here's a fun stat: In the past decade, only four quarterbacks have tallied 2,000 pass yards, 20 passing touchdowns, 500 rush yards and 10 rush TDs in their team's first 10 games: Lamar Jackson, Jordan Lynch, Dak Prescott and Wake's John Wolford. Only one has done it with fewer than five turnovers: Wolford.

BC has to feel as if it let one get away against NC State, but more concerning is the health of quarterback Anthony Brown, defensive end Harold Landry and cornerback Kamrin Moore, all hurt or out Saturday.

Another week, another ugly performance by the offense. That FSU struggled against Clemson is no surprise, but the lack of any success on the ground, given that the Tigers were without several key starters on defense, was just more salt in the wound.
